Are you learning a language? Do you want to ask for/share tips? Want to vent about grammar and complicated writing systems?Wanna share a page of your notebook you’re proud of? Looking for a study buddy? Found an amazing textbook?
Well, here’s the place for all things language learning.
All languages welcome, even English!
PS: no dumb questions like "Do I need to know how to write and speak (insert language here)???" "Do I really have to make efforts??". You won’t get banned but you’ll sound like a retard. Don’t be a language retard.

I know nonny I feel similar. Are you sure you're studying at the right time for yourself? I notice I have bad memory when I'm subconsciously occupied with something else. You will look back in half a year and see the progress you made and see you did learn something, just don't give up.

Learning is not linear, learning is not linear, learning is not linear
Do not fret, language learning is not a memorization game but the acquisition of a skill. Just continue the habit of study and immersion over a long period of time and your brain will do what its meant to do.
sorry i have to motivate myself with these reminders, some days can feel really demoralising

This is a thread for everyone that used to be a total pushover, a doormat, a people's pleaser, or a yes man at any point in their lives. Because of female socialization, a lot of us were raised a certain way, and we don't learn to stand up for ourselves until later in life. This is a thread for all the anons that leveled up or those that want to change and be a better version of themselves.

I learned that doing what people want just causes more trouble. Being nicer to guys who I am not interested in can get me into a situation where I’m “leading someone on”. I think it’s better for me to be a bitch, it’s less confusing for everyone.

No. 2497758

I didn't go out of my way to people-please or had problems saying no but I never asked for help. I learnt asking for help = disappointment, betrayal, and seen as stupid and weak. Someone ""competent"" must be able to wing everything from scratch without any knowledge or training whatsoever.

When I started being a bitch in high school is when people started to like me. Suddenly I was popular. I used to be extremely self-sacrificing and empathetic and was always the least preferred in any given group, so it was very eye-opening for me.

>>Told to never judge others so you wouldn't?
I wish I were as judgmental as I currently am, it would have saved me so many times when I was younger. lc helped me be true to myself an judge everyone and everything. People loved negatively judging me all the time over stupid things to the point where it had an impact on things like grades with a teachers openly telling me she would lower my scores for oral exams because I was too poor to buy formal clothes to larp as a CEO in front of the class, and then when I started looking for my first jobs. That aside I was always a doormat not because I hated myself or had low confidence but because I wanted people to leave me alone and they still wouldn't anyway.

>>2497752
Depending on what you mean by that it's the same for me. I'm still as polite as I can though. If we're talking about karens being these very annoying customers in retail or in restaurants I became more like that after my own experience in retail a few years ago. If I managed to do that job for far longer than planned and was still polite to insane costumers who would piss and shit and have sex in changing rooms and fight each other in front of the cashiers you can do the bare minimum and say "hello" and "goodbye" when I buy something in your calm, quiet and almost empty store.

Genuine question. What do you define as "LARPing". What makes this not "LARPing". Because a lot of the time I've just seen it used as this meaningless snarl word for religious practices not approved of by other religious practices. If you look at it a certain way, all religious practices are "LARPing".

Sry late. Das liegt 100% a den Deutschen im deutschen Lande. Wenn man die nicht spätestens in der 7. Klasse kennengelernt hat formen sich in der Regel keine Freundschaften mehr. Man muss die Hoffnung aber nicht gleich aufgeben. Weil, es gibt die, die immer Außenseiter waren und deshalb anders ticken als die normalo Deutschen, weswegen die in der Lage sind eine Bindung zu anderen Menschen aufzubauen auch wenn sie über einem gewissen Alter sind. UND es gibt die zugezogenen Menschen aus Ländern die gesellig und nett sind. Fast alle Kulturen sind herzlich und warm im Gegensatz zu der deutschen, außer vielleicht die aus dem Norden.
Wisst ihr, als ich ein unschuldiges Mädchen war hat die deutsche Gesellschaft mich so zu Grunde gerichtet, dass ich es als positiv empfinde, dass andere deutsche mich als komisch empfinden und nichts mit mir anzufangen wissen. Gut so, die Psychos sollen bloß von mir wegbleiben. Wenn ich gleichaltrige deutsche reden höre, ist das für mich als ob wir komplett verschiedenen Kulturen angehören. Ich habe lieber kein Zuhause, als Deutschland mein Zuhause zu nennen. Sorry, dass musste ich mal loswerden.

>Fast alle Kulturen sind herzlich und warm im Gegensatz zu der deutschen
Diesen Eindruck habe ich auch und bin neidisch, wie viel Liebe die sozusagen bekommen, aber andererseits könnte ich selbst das auch gar nicht, weil ich das nie gelernt habe. Wenn ich z.B. in Italien bin und sehe, wie sich Italiener ständig umarmen und wie viel sie reden und lachen, hätte ich das einerseits auch gerne, empfinde es aber schon beim Zuschauen als anstrengend, weil ich gar nicht wüsste, über was ich mich so ausgiebig unterhalten würde und weil ich gar nicht so viel Emotion und Begeisterung zeigen kann (als Kind was das alles so viel einfacher…)
Es stimmt schon, wenn Ausländer sagen, dass Deutsche wie Roboter sind und ich bin das beste Beispiel dafür lol

Some are going to say they're products of a patriarchal system that socially rewards women for being infantile but tbh, anyone going that far knows better and is exactly aware of what they're doing and how they feed into the problem. They need to be heavily shamed and discouraged for being retarded so it gets into their heads that in no way is this an acceptable cope.

>they're products of a patriarchal system that socially rewards women for being infantile
That argument could apply if this was an ancient tradition that sadly still hasn't died out yet, but this is completely a recent post-pandemic trend, that has nothing to do with their culture. Of course there's this entire leftover women thing, but that only meant that girls had to grow up faster and act like a mature woman quicker instead of doing this retarded opposite (also nearly all women starting to work full-time because of Mao). If you look at 90s actresses from Hongkong they're all so hot in a chill adult woman way and until a few years ago they also seemed to be prefer western-style actresses e.g. from Xinjiang but now they're all so skelly and white, this seems more like a mutation of their korea obsession. Kpop and kdramas are so popular in China and with it came a renewal of the pale skin + baby voice shtick that originally was no longer a thing there until the 2000s.

I had to go neet because of how deeply unattractive I feel and how it affects how others, particularly moids, treat me. Sometimes I feel deeply for my mom who is clearly upset that I'm wasting my life away doing nothing but at the same time I would rather kill myself than reintegrate into society.
I love her and I wish I could make her understand that this is my only option. It sucks being reminded of how I told her I was going to become a doctor ages ago and I'm just rotting in my room when I should be at uni

Sending you hugs, nonna. I wish I could help you with this, but unfortunately, I’m in the same situation. I can’t help but feel guilty toward my parents and fear that they resent me because I’m nothing like what they expected me to be. I feel like their expectations for me were high, and it’s not just disappointing that I didn’t meet them, it’s that I can’t even manage to meet normal expectations. I think to me this is the hardest part of being neet, I don't care much about money or my future but knowing that I've maybe dissapointed my parents make me feel bad, especially since they always worked so hard to give me anything I needed (but emotional support kek).

on one hand I feel like I really want to be keep lazily NEETing and isolating myself from social harm, but then on the other hand feel so severally depressed that on the (now very) rare occasions that I am productive or start socializing I feel much better about everything
it's like this impossible calculus where it's high risk high reward, but the risk still doesn't feel worth it
